Loki! To go with Iron Man.  Trying out some new techniques with the lasso tool and edge manipulation. Available for purchase on StorEnvy.

I did a bunch of fantasy sketches inspired by what I saw in Scandinavia.  I need to pick one to refine for homework into a convention print.  Which one’s your favorite?

Cronus Ampora the Bard prefers to go by his stage name, “The Wizard,” but most people like to refer to him as “The Jerk.”  Although he has proven to be a relatively proficient singer, he took up the golden mic solely to enhance his image to appeal to the female population on Beforus.

In this universe, steam power (much like nuclear power) was invented during war that destroyed the earth’s surface.  Thus, people created great engines to lift islands of arable land into the sky. This resulted in two classes of people: those who live on the sky islands and those who power the steam engines that keep it afloat.  Body modification with steam-powered accessories has become the norm to help people survive with their minimal resources.

Sunny recommends studying color by painting still life.  Lots of bounce light today from the crazy orange background.

Two-week pose figure painting from my class with Sunny Apinchapong, “Painting with and Emphasis on Color.”  Sunny’s helped me pay a lot more attention to edge quality and seeing colors in relationship with one another.

First painting I did in Joseph Todorovitch’s “Head Painting” course at 3kicks.  Charles Hu substituted that day and gave me great advice on ‘conservation of brush stroke’ and the ‘color zones’ in the face.

Game of Thrones: Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, and Jon Snow.  Alas, only one more episode!

Kurloz Makara, Priest of the Silent Order, used to be a cheerful man who loved to clown around.  However, one night a vision came to him in a nightmare, releasing a scream that permanently deafened his beloved, Meulin Leijon.  To atone, he has sewn his lips and joined the Silent Brotherhood, a cryptic abbey of violet bloods who wear golden chains that grow with every sin they commit.

This was my final figure painting for Dan Cooper’s “Color and Light” course, done with a full palette (white, yellow, orange, red, green, blue).  I feel I’ve improved my color sense and oil paint technique a lot, and I’m really happy with how far I’ve come!
